Does anybody use that technology? I need some help..

For watching media stream, I use media element and following code:
mediaPlayer.Source = new Uri("mms://localhost/admin", UriKind.Absolute);

and when the application is starts, I have exception: "AG_E_NOT_FOUND". (In
the Windows Media Player the stream is correctly showing)

But when I use next code: mediaPlayer.Source = new
Uri("mms://196.205.93.35/ahly", UriKind.Absolute);

all is OK, media element is showing video stream.

How can I configure my media server in order to see my stream using media
element?

Which Silverlight control are you using ? I believe only silverlight
1.1 supports MMS streams, from my reading of the documentation.

WMP and silverlight use quite distinct techniques to access streams,
and what may work in one is not transferrable to the other.

MMS usually results in a negotiation step to either the http or rtsp
protocol. Silverlight may not support that (yet) and there's no
obvious link between "localhost" and the 195.x.x.x IP below - if there
is, you didn't say what it was.

I have found the solving of a problem.

It is necessary to enable WMS HTTP Server Control Protocol in Media Server
properties and change port of that protocol if IIS is installed, for example
to 6666 (Because the port equals 80 by default)

And use next syntax: mms://localhost:6666/admin
(localhost can be changed with your IP)
